4 BR/4 Bath Luxury Beachfront House - Casa Perla - Playa Guasacate

Construction workers staring in the windows , smoking adjacent to our downstairs windows was a really annoyance

The construction is 15 feet away from the home ( maybe a split lot development

A few other opportunities- provide a hair dryer for each room - none available and we had to ask and have one delivered

Access to laundry limited to maid only - one free wash seems inappropriate for an high end rental

Manager was very responsive via WhatApp ( Thank You Todd )

We booked the option to have a chef cook dinner one evening and it was great

Also enjoyed massage at the house - arranged by Todd

Once construction is complete in the property next door I would highly recommend the property

This is a beautiful house on the sand. My kids loved the pool and the beach. Kitchen was well stocked for us to make healthy meals. What really makes the house stand out though is the people who run it. They booked some wonderful excursions for us like horseback riding on the beach, a cultural tour, massages, fishing, etc. Unfortunately the only one my family was able to do was fishing (they caught a bunch of fish and saw a whale, sea turtle, and dolphins). I became ill and had to go to the hospital in Managua, ended up having an emergency appendectomy. Todd and Karina were so helpful the whole way through. The housekeeper also went above and beyond while we were stuck in the hospital. I highly recommend this place. It would be perfect for couples traveling together as each room is very private. For families I think it would be best to have the interior rooms, one is upstairs and one downstairs. The bunk room is downstairs but not connected to the interior of the main house which was a bit tricky for us so that is my advice for families. Also there is some construction next door that started at 7:30am on Monday. Hopefully that will be done soon. I believe this is the nicest home in Popoyo. Rent a truck and have fun exploring, they will deliver it to the house!

Two couples shared this lovely home on the beach. First of all, the booking agent was responsive, very helpful and easy to work with. The house is absolutely beautiful as well as comfortable. Beds are great, pool showers internet, everything was great. The kitchen is fabulous. Has everything you need including Sonya to clean up your messes. Rene the poolman cleaned the pool regularly and was very helpful. Dwight checked in daily, answered questions and took care of whatever needed it. We bought cheap sea food and cooked and grilled everyday. The ocean was a bit rough for us but i believe it was the time of the year. Luxury, comfort and relaxation. Go for it

My friends and I went on our annual surfing trip to Popoyo. We've been to San Juan, (Maderas) as well as Rancho Santana and Playa Iguana in the past. All overpriced, with crowded line ups and not many dining options. Popoyo is the up and coming area for restaurants and surfing. And the tide pools are not to be missed. As a group, we've been surfing around Central America for over 15 years and Casa Perla is the best placed we stayed in. We pre-ordered a chef, her name was Hazel, to come cook Breakfast everyday and we switched on and off from lunch and dinner depending on what we had going during the day. The food was delicious and it was no stress. Karina, the property manager was very helpful with getting a Toyota Hilux delivered to Casa Perla the day we got to the house. She also set us up with a boat to surf some of the breaks up north. The surf around this zone is great and offers both beginner and advanced breaks. Casa Perla is brand new and is located in a gated community of around 12 houses. Everyone is super friendly and each night we would socialize about the waves we caught while on the beach or in the pool, drinking beers and watching the sunset. We will be back to Casa Perla, our group finally found a place in Nicaragua we'd bring our wives and kids to !! Thank you very much- Karina, Hazel, and Sounia

We absolutely loved staying in Casa Perla and can't wait to come back. We've stayed in some really nice homes in Rancho Santana (Casa Brown and Casa McVay) but we definitely prefer Playa Guasacate. There are so many great restaurants within a short walk or drive that you just can't get in Racho Santana. This house is just amazing as well. It was great being able to paddle out into a perfect wave all while being able to see the kids in the pool. If you are considering Rancho Santana, you might want to reconsider and give this house a shot, you won't be sorry.
